Preliminary Technical Data
WM8766
The automute function detects a series of ZERO value audio samples of 1024 samples long being
applied to both channels. After such an event, a latch is set whose output (AUTOMUTED) is wire
OR’ed through a 10kΩ resistor to the MUTE pin. Thus if the MUTE pin is not being driven, the
automute function will assert mute.
If MUTE is tied low, AUTOMUTED is overridden and will not mute unless the IZD register bit is set. If
MUTE is driven from a bi-directional source, then both MUTE and automute functions are available. If
MUTE is not driven, AUTOMUTED appears as a weak output (10kΩ source impedance) and can be
used to drive external mute circuits. AUTOMUTED will be removed as soon as any channel receives
a non-ZERO input.
A diagram showing how the various Mute modes interact is shown below Figure 8.

INPUT FORMAT SELECTION
In hardware mode, ML/I2S and MC/IWL become input controls for selection of input data format type
and input data word length for the DAC.

Note:
In 24 bit I2S mode, any width of 24 bits or less is supported provided that the left/right clocks
(LRCLK) are high for a minimum of 24 bit clocks (BCLK) and low for a minimum of 24 bit clocks. If
exactly 32 bit clocks occur in one left/right clock (16 high, 16 low) the chip will auto detect and run a
16 bit data mode.
DE-EMPHASIS CONTROL
In hardware mode, the MD/DM pin becomes an input control for selection of de-emphasis filtering to
be applied.
